In Mathematica, color (RGBColor) is determined by a set of three to four real values from 0 to 1. The fourth value is the alpha channel (opacity) and defaults to 1 when only r,g,b values are given. =46or millions of colors, each channel is normally represented as an 8-bit value. So, here is an example of converting a Mathematica RGBColor to 8-bits per channel In[4]:= Round[255 List @@ ColorData[1][1]] Out[4]= {63,61,153} This particular color is the default color used by Plot and ListPlot when plotting a single curve or data set.
